After your Springerle cookies have been cut out and
air-dried on a parchment lined cookie sheet, we have found a trick to help
prevent sticking while baking, even when parchment paper is
used. Simply flip the cookie over, image side down, and let
the image air-dry for 5-10 minutes. Then, liberally dust the back of the
cookie with flour, and turn it image side up again. This helps the
cookies remain free and limits the amount of sticking that may occur during
baking. Your cookies are then ready to put into the oven. After the
cookie has baked, and completely cooled, simply brush the excess flour off with
a pastry brush.
